Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
A typical Mathematics and Statistics degree progresses from foundational theory to specialisation and independent study. Year 1 usually covers Calculus & Analysis, Linear Algebra, and Probability & Statistics, building rigorous mathematical thinking. Year 2 typically deepens this with Real & Complex Analysis, Abstract Algebra, and Differential Equations & Modelling to understand systems in theory and practice. Year 3 normally moves to specialist options, such as Pure Mathematics, Statistics & Data, Financial Mathematics, Applied & Modelling, Operational Research, or an Actuarial Pathway, alongside Numerical Methods & Computation and independent project or advanced-topic modules. Throughout, you develop problem-solving skills across both pure and applied mathematics.
Who it's for
This part-time degree suits those balancing study with work or other commitments. It's designed for students seeking rigorous training in mathematics and statistics through a flexible study mode. The course combines theoretical foundations with practical application, making it relevant for those pursuing careers requiring quantitative skills or planning further postgraduate study.

International students
What applying to West London from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is £16,250 / year for this course (from the provider’s fee page). You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
Student visa
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Scholarships & funding
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check West London’s funding pages.
Living costs
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
Working while you study
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with West London and gov.uk before you apply.
